Common questions
High-level answers about Entryora and how the site works.
Is this legal advice?
No. Entryora is informational only. We do not represent you, file applications, or give advice for your case. Always verify on official government sites, and speak to a licensed adviser if you need personal guidance.
What is the difference between a passport and a visa?
A passport is a travel document issued by your country of nationality. A visa (or ETA / eTA / ESTA) is permission from the destination to enter or stay for a purpose. You usually need both: a valid passport, plus whatever entry authorisation the destination requires for your nationality.
What is the difference between an ETA and a visa?
An ETA (electronic travel authorisation) is typically a short online check before travel — examples include U.S. ESTA, Canada eTA, UK ETA, and ETIAS when in force. A visa is usually a fuller application, often with forms, fees, and sometimes an interview. Product names differ; always use the destination’s official name and site.
Is a residence permit the same as a visa?
Not always. A visa may let you enter; a residence permit may let you stay and live, study, or work after arrival. Some countries combine both in one application. Check the official page for the route you are using.
What happens if an application is refused?
Refusal reasons and appeal rights are set by the destination government. A refusal on one route does not always bar every other route. Read the official decision letter and the government’s published guidance. Entryora does not assess individual refusals.
Which destinations do you cover?
Core hubs cover the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and one Schengen Area short-stay layer. Schengen member hubs add Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy for short-stay entry. Additional travel hubs include Japan, New Zealand, Mexico, and Singapore, plus an Investment & CBI education track with country hubs. The visa checker also covers extra passport and destination pairs that may not have full hubs yet. Always verify on official government sites.
